SIG P220 Carry

[Muncus Agruncus]

I am jonesing for a SIG and perhaps something in .45. To those of you who own or owned the P220 carry model, what were your impressions of the gun? What variation do you have? I am looking at the plain TDA model with the contrast sights and the external extractor fwiw.

Thanks

I've got one with the internal extractor and it's worked flawlessly. The 220 carry is the pistol I carry concealed most of the time.

My P220 is the most accurate handgun I own short of my Ruger MkII .22 standard. I do not use it for CCW though because where I live in Alaska the real dangerous game is 4 footers, then I carry a Glock with 10mm loads. If you can live with being under-magged with only 7-8 rounds compared to the homies with their unlimited ammo hi-cap mags then go for it, owning a Sig is like wearing a Breitling watch, its not as fancy as a Rolex but is sturdy and ultimately usually more reliable.

I have a new P220 with 150 rds thru it so far.

Very accurate, feels great in hand and reliable.

Impressive handgun.

Get the night sights, they are worth paying a bit more.

I've got a West German Sig P220. Circa 1989. It is the BEST 45acp I have ever shot. Smooth and accurate right out of the box. Probably one of the most dependable and reliable weapons on the planet. Especially in the semi-auto world. I've never had to do one modification to it. I've hat it for quite a long time, and I still have the original sights, grips, and trigger. You don't have to change a Sig P220 at all. In the cooler months when I'm wearing a jacket or such, I carry the P220 exclusively. In the warmer months, it can be a bit challenging to carry concealed. But it definitely can be done. Many of us do it.

I have an early P220 Carry with the internal extractor. Its basically a stock gun with night sights and has your basic DA trigger.

Never had any issues with it and it shoots just like my other P220's.
